6. Warm
•Insulated to remain cool or warm. R14 as Thermal Wall and can be
increased to R40
•25% less loss of heat with Thermal Wall
•Regular wall can be easily insulated by batts or spray foam.
7. Quick
•Very easy to run plumbing or electrical wire in
walls.
•Installation time calculated in hours instead of
days.
•Can be installed by contractor using standard
construction site equipment.
•No forms needed for walls!
•Ready for drywall.
8. Strong
•Superior in seismic events. This has resiliency and will not
crack.
•Many times stronger than a 8” concrete wall.
•Steel Studs in place ready to carry house loads that can
exceed 4,000 lbs. linear ft.
9. Hydroloc Exterior Finishes
Hydroloc Elastomeric Acrylic Finish
provides a protective weathering membrane in a pre-colored, extremely
durable, fade and mildew resistant coating. The industry’s highest levels of
100% Acrylic Polymer ensures un-matched resistance to surface cracking
unlike standard finishes. An unlimited selection of colors (over 10,000) in
four distinct aggregate choices create a wide variety of texture
opportunities from the heaviest southwest stucco to the more contemporary
sand finish.

10. Concrete – Environmental Aspects
•Major producer of CO2 – Almost 1 tonne for every tonne of cement
produced. (1) This works out to about 200 kg for every tonne of
concrete. This represents about 7% of the worlds CO2 production. (2)
•The NO x emissions from Canadian cement kilns range from 1.5 to 9.5
kg/tonne of clinker (3)

11. Cost Competitive
•Savings in time translate to savings in money. Saves at
least a week in building cycle.
•Regular 8’ wall is less than the a regular 8” concrete wall
and less than ICF in price.
•Thermal wall is competitive or less than ICF.
